Windows XP/Gentoo Dual Boot Setup

Published February 11, 2006 by Shelby DeNike

I just got my mahcine setup to dual boot Windows XP and Gentoo, I had a bit of a hard time getting grub to work right mainly because I wasn’t coming across the information that I needed to get it going.Â So here is my machine info in hopes that it might help some others.
Drive partitions

That got it working for me.Â Now when you reboot you should have grub ask what OS you want to boot into.Â They should both work at this point.Â I did read somewhere that you should have SP2 installed before you dual boot as it tends to rewrite the MBR.Â I cant confirm this as I made sure to install it before I installed Gentoo/Grub.
